Onion paratha

This tastefully simple paratha is my kids favorite. The tricky part in this paratha is finely cut onions. One really needs to be expert of cutting to make this. You can use chopper to chop onions but make sure to include no liquid, then process is easier but believe me, hand chopped one has distinctive taste. Every work done to make this paratha is worth for hot out of the tawa paratha with pickle and yogurt on side.Category : Vegetarian, healthy fatPreparation Time : 5 minCooking Time: 15-20 minSkill level : expertIngredients :Stuffing:1 c Very finely cut, onions1/4 c very finely chopped cilantro1 ts red chili powder1 ts roasted cumin powdersalt as needed1 c regular whole wheat roti (soft) doughMix stuffing ingredients.Making roti1. Take a walnut-sized ball of dough2. Make two disks out of it3. Roll the two disks into small circles with a rolling pin4. Now sandwich the two disks with a little ball of filling (a little larger than the size of a walnut)5. Seal the edges perfectly6. With the help of a hand or rolling pin, roll it out into a circle7. On heated griddle lay the roti at medium low temperature8. After 10 seconds turn it over9. When its golden-brown turn it over again10. When its golden-brown both side it's done.11.Serve warm. You can apply ghee if you like.12. Repeat the process for all parathas.

*Flipping roti/paratha/thepala too many times makes it hard and chewy. (With practice you will know right timings and right temperatures.*To make soft roti/paratha/thepalas adjust your heat just right. If its too much you will get burns and spots will quickly turn black and if it's too low it will take longer and will be chewy not soft.*Applying ghee or butter after roti/paratha/thepla is done makes it softer, in case if you are a beginner.*Suggestion : Make this paratha crispy to taste even better.* Mix the stuffing just when you are ready to make paratha, otherwise it will became watery, making hard to make good paratha.
